I made a few more yesterday, left is for a rig hand that gave me a handful of the slip dies, the other 2 were an after thought. I made a spatula (kinda small), and a roasting fork out of nails... thought, hmmmmm.... gotta have a matching set and need somethin to open a beverage with...or market the nail to people who like to get hammered. Hahahaaa. now i gotta figure out how to make bbq tongs out of a nail.

An iron in the hat type event could be fun. That said, bottle openers could be a good project for it. It'll give a new guy a chance to practice something that they could then get feedback on from others in the community. We all know pictures are great but with hands on we could give better feedback.

I hope I'm not speaking out of turn here, just thought I'd make a silly suggestion.

No straight lines in nature? Don't pay much attention to nature do you? They're everywhere, evergreen forest and Rutile for two examples right off the top.

It's a truism in art and architecture that there are no absolutely straight lines in nature -- even the straightest pine trunk or rutile crystal edge will have some degree of curve or irregularity. What the human eye perceives as straight is actually something that merely approximates straightness.

It's a truism that I've always found somewhat annoying and pedantic, but thought I could make use of it for the joke. Oh, well. Call it communist humor: it's only funny if everyone gets it.

Nothing special about your relativity is there? You have to change your expectations of reference to an Einsteinian "reference mollusk" to appreciate nature in a closer approximation of . . . . Reality.

A light ray does NOT bend, the space it travels through does as does our perceptions and ability to observe. Earth in it's orbit around the sun moves in as straight a line as it's possible to draw if you use the right straight edge. Honest, no foolin.
